| description | The narratives produced around violent events have particular characteristics, at the same time that they are shaped by the experience of the person who is narrating. When using oral history as a tool to interview protagonists, it is observed that the chronological structure, the significant events and the functionality that they give to orality are different from each other. However, its uniqueness will be built based on the social dimension, as well as the consensus and dissent they express towards a collective discourse. This paper aims to analyze the narration of Sara Waitman, former detainee of the last Argentinean civil-military dictatorship, whose experience is inserted in contexts of repressive, structural and symbolic violence. Particularly, we will observe how his political militancy links past and present in a narration that, with the uniqueness of a personal story, has communalities with other stories of this type. |

Las narraciones producidas en torno a acontecimientos violentos poseen características particulares, al mismo tiempo que están modeladas por la experiencia de quien relata. Al acudir a la historia oral como herramienta para entrevistar a sujetos protagonistas, se observa que la estructura cronológica, los eventos significativos y la funcionalidad que dan a la oralidad, son distintas entre sí. No obstante, su singularidad estará construida en función de la dimensión social y de los consensos y disensos que expresan hacia el discurso circulante colectivo. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la narración de Sara Waitman, ex-detenida de la última dictadura cívico-militar argentina, cuya experiencia se encuentra inserta en contextos de violencia represiva, estructural y simbólica. Particularmente, se observará cómo su militancia política enlaza pasado y presente en un relato que, con la singularidad de la narración personal, posee comunalidades con otros relatos de este tipo.
